With Pat Riley’s comments a while back around trading for wemby, I wonder what you all would do in the hypothetical below.
Given current spurs Wemby performance and conference finals play, what number of picks would it take on either side to get PROSPECT LeBron (just based on draft day hype, not knowing what his career would be)? Like is there anything you’d make that trade for?

How would it change if it was Lebrons 3rd season and his body of work and trajectory? Just trying to compare trade values and what it would take to get wemby moved?

I just finished watching the show, and I have some thoughts. I’d love people’s reactions.

I think this show would have been better watching live- 1 per week. Binge watching the whole series introduced some problems for me. The whole Red John plot moved so slowly. Like before season 5ish, we got like 2-5 episodes per show mentioning it, and outside of the season 3? cliff hanger, didn’t seem like much progress was ever made. This made for a slow moving main story line. I certainly cared about the other character development, side arcs, love interest, etc, but it really seemed like you could cut out ~50% of the episodes and be able to piece everything together. For context, I loooved white collar, and how it moved things along even just a little bit each episode.

I am split that they killed Vega, like I think it worked really well, but man it was so sad.

I also really liked laroche and Hightower, wish we could’ve gotten more with them.

I thought I liked Van Pelt and Rigsby, but after they were gone, I really didn’t miss them. Writers did a great job replacing them.
On a similar note, I honestly enjoyed the back half of season 6 and season 7 the most of maybe the whole show outside of episodes where red John was a big part. It felt they handled the main storyline pace and all better there (to me!). It just felt like an actual show and not a 45 minute little crime solving thing. I understand that is the premise, but it felt new rather than formulaic like the first few seasons.

I wish we would have gotten to see more of the Sheriff before his reveal. Like I really like Bret Stiles and all the time with his character, but I didn’t feel like I even knew who the Sheriff was. Like he didn’t get much screen time between the second episode and season 6. That part felt a bit anticlimactic, but perhaps/likely that was intentional to throw us off.

Overall, a great show. I think it moved just a little slow for me, but watching it weekly live may be a totally different experience
